This folder is part of the Forster Family Papers (MSS 2/300). The collection contains letters sent and received, 1819-1880, by members of the Forster family of Dauphin County, Pa., particularly General John Forster (1777-1863); his second wife, Margaret S. Forster (1804-1891); Mrs. Forster's son, James H. Stuart (1828-1854); and Benjamin L. Forster, the second son of John and Margaret Forster. Although the content of the Forster family letters is personal in nature, there are many observations concerning matters of individual and public health and homeopathic medical treatment. Of particular interest are the letters from James H. Stuart to his mother and brother, Benjamin, concerning his training and experiences as a medical student in Philadelphia and the establishment of his professional practice in Erie.
